Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is most likely to become first £100m player ahead of Harry Kane and Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann
Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the most likely player to break Paul Pogba's world record transfer fee and become the first ever £100million star, according to new research.
The 27-year-old striker has netted an incredible 25 goals in 25 Bundesliga games this season and has previously attracted interest from Real Madrid.
And a study shows that Aubameyang is ahead of Tottenham's Harry Kane and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann when it comes to his potential price tag.

Betting company bwin have analysed factors including position, age, length of contract and demand to come up with a list of 10 players who are statistically the most likely to break the world transfer record this summer.
Aubameyang's impressive goals-to-game ratio and Dortmund's failure to hold on to their other top stars in recent seasons make him a prime candidate to move for a huge fee at the end of the season.
'As of yet, I have no information that suggests Auba will leave Dortmund,' the club's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke recently told Sport Bild.
'There are not an awful lot of clubs that would be a step forward for him in my opinion. Either way, he will only leave Dortmund for an outrageous transfer fee if he does move.'
